About the only thing you will get people to agree on within this forum is the marketing side of the club is doing very well!
I am sure the club hope to attract more fans from the extra fans that may turn up. More so from the Heinz game perhaps but whatever, Mick Hogan and his crew are doing a very good job.

I think it's rubbish!
Jeez it's good this pessimism Lark!!!

| This is terrific news and well done to the club for promoting this match, in all honesty the promotion could not of come at a better time for the club and most importantly its supporters given the recent negativity that has been associated with the club.
Going into the game (and not discounting the important game against Bradford) i feel this is a real opportunity for Mark Riddell to really show what he can do against arguabley one of the worlds great 9's in Danny Buderas.
In fact when you look at the Bradford game too its going to be a big test for Riddell as Terry Newton is also a good player so he has two big games on the bounce to impress.

IL will be absolutely praying that Wigan beat Bradford at the weekend.
A poor loss against a dire Bradford side would seriously harm sales in the week leading up to the match.
Whereas a good win would see us sell up to and in excess of 20K+ by kick off.'"
Great result at Odsal.
With good weather on friday, I expect a gate of well over 20,000.
Onwards and upwards..!!! Can we beat Leeds? Well in front of 18,000+ screaming Wigan fans - Hell Yes!!!!!!!!!

I agree, a great result and good for the attendance on Friday. It's a good job though that it was an away match today and any non committed supporters wouldn't have seen how badly we really played. They wouldn't want to come on Friday after seeing that.
We will really need to improve our game by a considerable amount to make an impression on Friday and with the injuries to Bailey and Flanagan, I'm not too hopeful.
However, that was with the head. The heart says that with the spirit we showed today anything is possible.

| I'm bringing an old uni mate (originally from Bournemouth) to his first ever game of RL Friday. He's got into it from watching the Friday night matches on SKY. Friday hopefully will be the clincher in turning him into a full blown Wigan fan...

You figured a way to get your Xbox to the match?

| Mick Hogan has just told BBC Radio Merseyside that the club have now past 17,000 pre sales for this match guaranteeing to beat the SL Crowd record for a home Wigan v Leeds match (which was 17,281 in 2006).
This before taking into account any kind of crowd from Leeds (who get the same £10 adults/£5 concessions).

I would imagine the amount sold would include Leeds tickets but I will stand corrected if you are sure.

On the night also.

I'd imagine most Leeds fans will buy on the night. Unreserved seating and usually plenty of space in the away stand when they visit. Deffo 2 or 3 thousand walk up on the night from Wigan & Leeds fans I'd reckon.
